hi.
I'm super bummed. Tonight I went for my drysuit fit as I'm starting my AOW and have my pool class on Sunday, with ocean dives the following weekend. When I originally signed up I specifically asked the shop if they were going to have any trouble with providing me a suit. They swore up and down it would not be a problem at all. By most sizing guides I've read I would fit a 2XL short because I'm 5 8'.
The shop tonight did not have anything that fit at all. The ones that "sort of" maybe could fit were huge through my shoulders and super long in the legs. Not to mention the seals were worn, and one actually tore when I checked the seal on my wrist. I was super careful too. The suits look poorly cared for as well. The neck wasn't tight either and I know it's going to leak badly. The shops response was "don't worry, when I did my training my suit leaked and I got soaked too".
Hello!
This Vancouver and the water is freaking cold here. I do not feel ok about going out in these ill fitting suits to do my training.
What do you think? I want to tell the shop that I don't feel ok or safe with this. Am I over reacting?
Thanks very much for the feedback.
